The closure of Demonoid, one of the most popular torrent trackers online, spread unrest and despair both far and wide. Entire forum topics were set aside for Demonoid refugees, users who had come to rely on Demonoid for its exhaustive torrent listings and wealth of harder-to-find music, programs, and more. Take heart, you refugeees, and let your weeping turn to rejoicing: it looks as if Demonoid might live again.
The administrator of Demonoid, Deimos, has turned over control of Demonoid to a new admin, a personal friend whom he trusts implicitly. This new admin is charged with the responsibility of bringing Demonoid back online. And, unfortunately, that's all we know for now.
While there might be a lot of speculation as to what the new Demonoid will look like, or how it will avoid being shutdown by the threat of lawsuits again, it looks like we'll just have to wait and see.

Update: Okay, it looks like Demonoid is back up and running. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

There *is* hope . . . the RSS feeds started working the other day. Nothing out of 'em yet, but they're validated and responding, so it's a good sign.
